# ZStackLayout

An overlaying container that you can use in conditional layouts.

```
@frozen struct ZStackLayout
```

## Overview

This layout container behaves like a [`ZStack`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ZStack), but conforms to the
[`Layout`](/documentation/SwiftUI/Layout) protocol so you can use it in the conditional layouts that you
construct with [`AnyLayout`](/documentation/SwiftUI/AnyLayout). If you don’t need a conditional layout, use
[`ZStack`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ZStack) instead.

## Topics

### Creating a stack

[`init(alignment:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ZStackLayout/init(alignment:))

Creates a stack with the specified alignment.

### Getting the stack’s properties

[`alignment`](/documentation/SwiftUI/ZStackLayout/alignment)

The alignment of subviews.
